member OF the house of commons for
DeptfOrd, will resign because of his in
ability to agree with the government on
the Irish question.
OPENING OF THE LIBERAL CAMPAIGN.
LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The opening of
the Liberal campaign at Nottingham
to-day was great affair. Mr.. Glad
stone said he would tell them plainly
that he was not there to say sweet
things. 1t was an undeniable fact that
the settling of the great Irish question,
which might have been settled last
year had there been a disposition to
discuss it in a spirit of candOr and
fairness, had been again set aside and
was still pending, its difficulties ag-
gTayated, and its prospects uncertain.
He had always told the Conservatives
that the choice lay between coercion
and home rule. The Conservatives
had told them that home rule
was an idle dream. but
events had shown that it was
not. A coercion bill has been passed
against combinations, against the lib
erty of the press, and right of public
meetings, and not against crime.
The spectacle was now grave and Sc
riOuS one, and if it continued it would
| drive Ireland into such a state that the
| difficulties of the Government would
become almost insurmOuntable. He
denied that he proposed home rule
simply to advance Liberal interests. II
was doubtful, he said, whether the
Tories accepted home rule in its broad
principles in the same way they &C
cepted his proposals in 1872, and in
1883. He wanted a Statutory Parlia-
ment in Dublin, subject to Imperial
| control. There was nothing to prevent
| any reasonable man from agreeing
with the Liberals Irish proposals
| without reference to this or that
particular or detail. The i'm
mediate necessity of the day
was to watch the way in which Ire
land was now governed. If the Gov
eminent persisted in their rash and
| foolish policy it would naturally lead to
1 political decentralization, and reDder II
the highest degree difficult, even fol
| Englishmen and a Parliament treaty
representing their best and most en-
| hghtened conclusions to deal rapidly
and benficially with Ireland. Only one
word could describe the present sys-
tenn of Irish government. 1t was sim
pertinence. The events of the last
| few weeks in Ireland would not have
been tolerated In England. He con-
demned the action of the authorities al
Mitchellstown. He admitted having

had an account to settle with the Gov.
eminent in connection with that affair

cally assumed the responsibility of theii
acts. The worst feature of the
Mitchellstown incident, was that the
action of the authorities there had be
come model and pattern for the whole
of Ireland. The whole system of gov

There has been breakdown in thu
